Device(s): T Mobile Vario II

I am getting a Touch Plus on T Mobile (web and walk) next week, can’t wait.

Can I pick all your brains on a few things?

First up which is the best Web browser

I have used Opera Mobile on my Vario 2 as well as IE (I upgraded the OS to Mobile 6 so I guess it was IE 6)
I do like the zoom in Opera, but both seemed very slow in scrolling, would this be the memory on the Vario 2.

I also want to be able to download files of about 10 Meg, as I sometime lose the signal which is best at resuming or it there a good download manger I can buy.

I have read the Opera Mini is very fast but does it not send you a cut down version of the websites?
Would I get charged for this?

Does any know how I can save my favourites from my Vario and load them on to the Touch?

And total off subject, is it possible to look up Google maps (not the mobile version but full) and save it so I can print it off on my PC, or print from the Phone if it is connected to the PC.

Many thanks

Best browser is Opera Mobile still i'd say, or maybe Opera Mini (which also happens to be free), and DOES give you the full sites.

If you're doing lots of downloads, check out wmDA - http://www.adisasta.com/wmDA.html - which is a dedicated download manager!

Your favorites are stored in '\Windows\Favorites', just copy that directory from the old device to the new!

Google Maps, you're best doing that at a PC!
